The Resource Room

-- This is an old site (1999, really!) ; my full-time job helping students has pulled me away. Still, there may be resources you find useful. I'm in the process of transforming resources to editable Open Educational Resources and sharing them at OER Commons and other repositories.

July 11, 2018: New projects ... a few fixed pictures... my blog is where I'm sharing while I figure this out. However, yesterday I got, from the tossed books from the Business department, an HTML5/CSS book.

August 5 2017 Attempt to edit! That's why those images are "broken." COntent's my priority... yes, I"m breaking rules by publishing "Under Construction" but I declare the rules to have changed.

My blog is current - drop by and say hello! THe About" page explains projects like my app .

What was new at Resource Room

Sue Jones' blog! Links and comments and who knows what else? Updates on my teaching and learning and figuring out new ways to present math. (Biking Blog, too if you're feeling distractible)

Why Can't Students Get the Concept of Math? This article from Spring 2011 Perspectives (shared with permission) describes typical misunderstandings that middle school level students have, and explains that this is going to make it harder to keep moving forward. It's not limited to students with learning disabilities, either. I've uploaded a version with my comments, too.

Camtasia explorations in math... exploring integers. Check it out in the MATH section (If Salman Khan and his Khan Academy confuses you... )
